Tree Frog in Marojejy - closeup, Madagascar

Found during a night tour near camp 2 on Marojejy mountain. These frogs were remarkably approachable, not responding at all to our movement and not even to light. Species to be identified, I will ask John for help.

Do you think this is the same species as
? If not Boophis axelmeyeri, another similar-looking species recorded from not too far away (but only south of Masoala in Glaw & Vences) is Boophis madagascariensis. Posted 9 years ago

  I think it is likely the same species (yet not the same animal), photographed only meters apart. Posted 9 years ago
